Old Songs Slow Session Wed., November 15, 2017

Quick reminder that this Wednesday is our Old Songs November Slow Session. We will be upstairs because George Wilson is giving his fiddle classes downstairs.

I hope more folks will join us this month! There will be a learn-by-ear tune to start and then we'll do Round Robin, so get started thinking of the tune you'd like to play.

A couple of little pieces of news:
